The Strawberry Moon will be making an appearance over Sacramento this week.
This will be the first full moon of the astronomical summer and the last supermoon of the year 2021.
For residents in the Sacramento area, the Strawberry Moon is set to rise approximately at 9:00 P.M. on Thursday, June 24, and will set at 6:30 A.M. on Friday, June 25, according to Timeanddate.com.
While the moon will peak on Thursday, it will still look full on Wednesday and Friday as well.
Luckily for the greater Sacramento area, forecasts predict Thursday will be mostly clear, so getting a good view of the Strawberry Moon shouldn't be a problem for skywatchers this week.
Despite its name, skywatchers can expect to see a large, golden moon instead of a red or pink moon.
The fourth and final supermoon of 2021 is called the Strawberry Moon because strawberries are ready to be picked at this time of year. Other names for this supermoon include the Blooming Moon, Berries Ripen Moon, and Green Corn Moon.
While people in the United States won't be able to see it, the moon will hit peak illumination at 12:40 P.M. on Thursday, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
